Well, Webster says that perfect means being without fault or defect. The greek word means complete, or having all parts. Those definitions are a little different, huh? I will not, in this life, be without fault or defect, and there is no point in trying. However, I can be complete or have all I need. I am NOT there, nor do I think I will be there any time soon (like in the next decade), but I can take steps towards completeness. There are things I can do everyday in a quest to being 'perfect'.
Today I will practice speaking kindly to my children.
Today I will practice spending my time wisely. (And on that note, I have to get off the computer!)
What will you practice today?
